My sister was baptised in a church on a RAF camp that was for the use of Armed Forces Personnel, the local village had their own church about a mile away. I was wondering whether Armed Forces churches kept records of BMD in the same way as other churches did in the 18 and 19 century. Or did the personnel use the local church for these things.

Kevin. BMDs don't include Baptisms. The Church records should, when full, have been lodged in the Record Office of the County concerned, I think. Regards. Keith
